Casey Puckett- All Out

Casey Puckett joined KJUS as a team rider last season. He had a pretty good season with a number of podiums including a bronze at the X-Games. However, along the way he had a couple of injuries including an amazing crash in Grindelwald. Rehab is complete on his shoulder and Casey is ready for the season. He is also back on the US Ski Team as a member of the inaugural skier cross squad. Here is video that the ski team just released on Casey and the upcoming season.

Casey Puckett's Crash in Grindelwald

This isn't quite as bad as Scott Macartney's crash, but it's still painful to watch more than once. Casey was clearly out in front from the start and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That said, being out in front is right where you want to be- usually.

Even so, he's ready ski this weekend in Sun Valley with the lucky winner of Ski with Casey.

Casey Puckett is OK and Ready to Ski Next Weekend

Casey was injured in a qualifying round in Gridelwald this week, when one of his competitors took him out. Casey gives a full description of the ordeal and the results on his blog, so we won't go into the full details. The good thing is that he is OK, though it looks to be a season ending injury- shoulder separation. We're are all happy he is fine.

Today he let us know that he should be fine for some free skiing in Sun Valley, so the Ski with Casey promotion goes on.

Skier cross is a rough sport and unfortunately Casey come out on the short end of the deal this day. It's a tough way to an end of what looked to be another great season for Casey, where before Gridelwald he had podiumed in all but 2 of the 7 events he entered this season.
